Christmas Food Made Easy With Woolies

Start your celebration with light yet satisfying chicken and corn soup. It’s a comforting favourite that warms up quickly and pairs perfectly with ciabatta or heat & eat mini garlic butter baguettes from our bakery section. For a vegetarian option, the tomato soup brings vibrant flavour and colour to your starter course.

If you’re hosting a garden lunch or casual Christmas Eve gathering, serve the chicken Caesar pasta salad or the sticky rice salad straight from the fridge. Both are fresh, balanced and ready to serve — ideal for guests who arrive early and hungry.

Skip the oven marathon and set your table with Woolworths’ ready-made mains. The slow cooked beef short rib casserole delivers tender, saucy perfection in minutes. Simply heat and serve with a side of creamy potato mash for a restaurant-quality meal at home.

For a lighter alternative, try the beef lasagne. It's perfectly seasoned and ready to pair with the roasted veg medley or a crisp green salad.

New Year’s Eve plans by the pool? Keep things relaxed with braised beef stew served with coleslaw salad. It’s easy to prepare, mess-free and perfect for outdoor entertaining.

Every good feast needs sides that bring everything together. Woolworths’ sweet potato and butternut salad adds colour and a hint of sweetness to your plate, while the creamy spinach gives richness and depth without any effort. For a crowd, heat up the macaroni cheese. It's creamy, golden, and always a hit with kids and adults alike.

Grab a few ready-to-eat salads like the Moroccan chicken couscous salad or the Asian style chicken & ramen noodle salad if you’re heading to a friend’s braai or beach gathering. They’re perfect for sharing and need no prep.

Complete your meal with a chocolate & white chocolate mousse swirl or pistachio tiramisu from the chilled section. These ready-made treats end your meal on a sweet note without turning on the oven. Add a scoop of vanilla-flavoured ice cream for extra indulgence.
